This page assesses correlations between HIV program metrics and Advanced HIV Disease (AHD) across Malawi. It draws on data from 845 facilities across Malawi, including:
Each of these metrics are explored in the sections below.
CD4 counts are measured at 133 facilities with existing AHD services across Malawi. An additional 28 facilities were excluded for reporting low CD4 rates of 0% or 100%, or for having a sample size of less than ten.
The map below shows rates of low CD4 counts across health facilities with AHD services:
The map below shows ART cohort default rates measured at 741 health facilities across Malawi. An additional 99 facilities with reported default rates >20% or ART cohort sizes less than ten were excluded from these plots.
The scatterplot below shows the relationship between ART cohort treatment interruption rates and low CD4 count rates across health facilities for which both measurements are available:
The map below shows the number of children under age 15 newly registered on ART in 2024 by facility, measured at 827 health facilities across Malawi. An additional 18 facilities missing child registration data or with ART cohort sizes less than ten were excluded from these plots.
The scatterplot below shows the relationship between average ART cohort size in 2024 and low CD4 count rates across health facilities where both measurements are available:
The following table summarizes all metrics across the 845 health facilities with ART services across Malawi:
